This is an exciting time to join our team as a Central Planning Unit Coordinator, where you’ll optimise operational routes across our entire UK branch network, analyse data to drive efficiency, support cross-departmental planning, and ensure seamless service delivery on all our driver routes.

This is a great opportunity for someone with a high level of integrity to develop within Loomis UK – one of the market leaders in our industry.

Pay : £28k

Hours : 40 hours per week, will include weekend working and evening shifts up to 8pm (part-time applicants may also be considered)

Who are we?

Loomis UK has a strong national presence and is part of the Loomis Group – a worldwide leader in the security sector. We provide secure, end-to-end solutions for the distribution, handling, and storage of cash and valuables for banks, retailers, and other businesses.

The role

Strong communication skills in both verbal and written forms are essential, as is the ability to perform under pressure and meet tight deadlines.

You should be comfortable using various systems and software and able to adapt to changing circumstances. Whilst a good understanding of driving hours rules and regulations is beneficial, having a positive, learning-oriented attitude will be key to thriving in this position.

The values of our organisation - People, Service, Integrity – are fundamental to shaping our culture and the way we manage our business.
